BOTTLE-WRAPPER.

`sracII'IcAI-ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 368,978, dated August 3o, 18a?. Application filed January 28, 1887. Serial No. 225,786. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: j

Be it known that I, EDWIN SHERRING, a citizen of Great Britain, residing at Manchester,

in the county of Lancaster, England, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Packing-Wrappers for Glass Bottles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full,

. clear, and exact description o f the invention,

rsuch as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying draw` injury in shipment; also, for lining the inside of all kinds of packing-boxes.

This invention consists .in the novel construction ofthe packing-Wrappers, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l represents a piece of a packing-Wrapper constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the same. Fig. 3 is also a similar section through a piece of a modification constructed according to this invention.

A is a piece of thepacking-wrapper,which is formed of papeigwood pulp, straw-board, or any other similar material. circular, concave convex projections, a, is pressed or rolled in the wrapper during the process of manufacture. These projections have their convex portions'upon one side of the surface ofthe wrapper, and, being some- What elastic, they preserve the object about which they" are placed from injury. A second series of fconcavoconvex projections, b, of circular outline, is formed in the wrapper. These projectionsare similar to and alternate with the projections (t, but have all their con- Vex portions upon the opposite surface of the wrapper. A series of perforations, c, is also formed in the wrapper. These perforations A series of alternate with the projections before described. yThey serve to ventilato the contents of the Wrappers, and are Very useful when the Wrappers are used for fruit or similar perishable substances.

rlhe Wrappers may be painted or varnished any color or style.

When desired to be water proof, the wrappers are ytreated with a coat of soluble indiarubber or other similar material.

The wrappers are made antiseptic when desired by applying to their surface asolution of borax or other similar material.

As shown in Fig. 3, some of the concave parts of the wrapper "are sometimes filled in with pulp, so that the convex projections and concave depressions only are formed, which are similar to those before described. This form of Wrapper is used for large bottles or jars.

If desired, the wrappers may be backed or Ire-enforced with paper of any thickness to give them increased rigidity.

I do not confine myself to the circular form of projections or depressions, as the same can be made oval or elliptical.

What I claim isi 1. A packing-wrapper having a series of approximately circular convex projections upon one side and a similar alternating series of projections upon the opposite side.

2v. A packing-wrapper having a series of approximately circular concavo-convexpro# jections upon one side and a similar alternating series of proj ections upon the opposite side.

3. A packing-wrapper having a Series of approximately circular concave depressions upon one side and a similar alternating series EDWIN SHERRING.
